Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros - Joe Ryan vs. Framber Valdez (4:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (+104) at FanDuel

The Houston Astros have been a popular offense to back in our daily YRFI series as they continue to string together a hot month of play. Every bit of their offensive production has been needed after a horrific start to their season, now finding themselves clawing out of a hole that they dug themselves. Once projected as a World Series contender, the Astros are now battling just to try to make the playoffs.

While a World Series title may seem a bit far-fetched with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies looking head and shoulders above the rest, the Astros are still in AL West title contention and have been steadily decreasing the Seattle Mariners' divisional lead. A big reason for their success stems from their elite top of the order, a unit that features Jose Altuve, Kyle Tucker, and the always dangerous Yordan Alvarez.

Their production at the top of the order has played a major part to their overall offensive success as they rank top-9 in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Their success will be called upon once again against Joe Ryan as he has been a productive starting pitcher for the Twins defense. Ryan comes into the contest with an ERA of 2.96 and a WHIP of 0.940 in 11 total games played.

As for the Twins offense, they have been on the opposite end of the spectrum of success when compared to the Astros as they currently rank well below league average in the previously mentioned offensive metrics. They now get the opportunity to build some momentum against the Astros Framber Valdez as he has struggled mightily so far this season. Valdez comes into the contest with an ERA of 4.34, a WHIP of 1.343, 49 Hits Allowed, and 23 Earned Runs Against in 8 games played.

San Diego Padres vs. Kansas City Royals - Joe Musgrove vs. Alec Marsh (4:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-112) at FanDuel

Like the Houston Astros, the San Diego Padres have been a popular offense for our daily YRFI series as they are currently running as one of the best units in the league. Current league leading Hits Leader Luis Arraez Jr has played a major role in that, giving them a dangerous lead off man in an attempt to get on base and open the scoring early with star slugger Fernando Tatis Jr following right after him.

While the Padres were already a dangerous offense before the acquisition of Luis Arraez, they have since climbed up even higher on the board and currently rank top-8 in Team Total Hits, On Base Percentage, RBIs, and Total Runs Scored. They certainly have the firepower to open up the scoring early against a productive arm like Alec Marsh as he comes into the contest with an ERA of 3.24 and a WHIP of 1.060.

As for the Royals, their offense has been equally as impressive by ranking well above league average in the same previously mentioned metrics. Bobby Witt Jr has played as an MVP type caliber talent, giving the Royals a lethal contact hitter near the top of their order. He will be in great position to be productive once again against Joe Musgrove as he comes into the contest with an ERA of 5.66, a WHIP of 1.480, 58 Hits Allowed, and 31 Earned Runs Against.
